Earring Boxes

Custom Earring Boxes for Studs, Hoops, Dangles, and Earring Sets

What earring packaging is used for

Earrings are small, come in pairs, and are easy to lose, so the box has to keep both pieces together and in place. It also has to look good, because earrings are a popular gift. Earring packaging holds stud earrings, hoops, huggies, dangles, drops, clip-ons, and ear cuffs, as well as sets that pair earrings with a necklace or a bracelet. Jewelers, online shops, and makers use earring boxes for retail counters, gift giving, shipping, and trade shows. A good box carries the brand name on the lid, shows the pair when it opens, and ships well inside a larger carton or mailer.

Sizes and how to measure

Lay the pair out the way it will sit in the box, and measure the length, the width, and the thickness of the pair, including the backs. A hoop needs room for its diameter, and a long dangle needs room for its drop. For a set, measure each piece and choose a layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch of clearance around the earrings. Send us the numbers and we build the dieline around them.

Example sizes (examples only, length x width x height in inches; your earrings set the final size):

• Stud earring box: 2.5 x 2.5 x 1
• Hoop earring box: 3.5 x 3.5 x 1
• Long dangle earring box: 5 x 3 x 1
• Earring and necklace set: 8 x 6 x 1.5
• Earring card carton: 3.5 x 2.5 x 0.5

Box styles and closures

A magnetic closure rigid box is the standard choice for custom earring boxes, because it closes with a click and feels like a gift. A lift-off lid box is simple and shows the pair when the lid comes off. A drawer box slides out like a small case and suits a keepsake pair. A tuck end carton is a low cost choice for retail, and a hang tab lets a small carton hang on a peg. A mailer box carries an earring box through the mail without a second carton. These styles can be made as earring box packaging for retail or for shipping.

Materials and thickness

Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap, which gives the walls and lid a firm feel and protects the earrings. Folding cartons use paperboard of about 300 to 400 GSM and suit a light, low cost box. Kraft board gives a natural look. For mail, E-flute corrugated mailers add crush protection. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order. Every box uses eco-friendly materials sourced from certified suppliers, and recycled paperboard and kraft board are available.

Printing, coatings, and finishes

Print full color CMYK or match your brand with Pantone spot colors, on the outside only or the outside and inside. Matte lamination looks calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel that suits jewelry. Spot UV can pick out the logo, and foil in gold, silver, or rose gold adds an accent. Embossing and debossing add texture to a name. Earring boxes with logo on the lid and a printed inside lid help the buyer remember the gift. For unique earring packaging, a die-cut window in the shape of a star or a moon on the lid, or a color wrap with a bold pattern, makes the box stand out on a shelf. A simple color wrap in navy, blush, or black keeps the focus on the earrings.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard insert holds the earrings in place. The insert can have two small slits for studs, two holes for hooks, or a slot for a hoop, so the pair stays together. It can be covered in paper or fabric in a color that suits the metal, such as black for silver and gold, or cream for rose gold. An earring card, a printed paperboard card with holes for the posts, can sit inside a box or go in a clear bag for retail. For a set, the insert has a section for each piece. A die-cut window with clear film shows the pair on a retail carton. Custom earring packaging can also include a small pocket for a card or a certificate.
